Odetta

December 31, 1930 ~ Blues and folk singer Odetta is born Odetta Holmes in Birmingham, Alabama. Named the "Queen of American folk music" by Martin Luther King Jr., Odetta sings "O Freedom" at the 1963 March on Washington and is considered The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement.

I really enjoy and derive such benefit from spirituals BUT feel polluted when they are set for white ears (four-part harmony, all voices singing the same words at the same time).

Are there singing groups that perform spirituals in a way that *isn't* arranged for whites?

The rabbit holes that I love to follow are often started by someone -a friend, a random post- suggesting something new. Or familiar. This is both.
Enjoy!

ps. This rabbit hole started when someone posted a video of Bonnie Rait and Richard Cantrememberhisname… this song has nothing to do with that song.
